Here’s a clear, professional recipe for making crispy roasted cauliflower without emojis or fluff:
Crispy Roasted Cauliflower
Roasted cauliflower is a simple, healthy, and flavorful side dish that’s crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Ingredients
- 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into florets
- 2–3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F).
- Prepare the cauliflower: Wash and cut into bite-sized florets. Pat dry to remove excess moisture.
- Season: In a large bowl, toss cauliflower with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Arrange on a baking sheet: Spread florets in a single layer to ensure even roasting.
- Roast: Bake for 25–30 minutes, turning halfway through, until edges are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve immediately: Optional: garnish with fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice.
Tips
- For extra crispiness, do not overcrowd the pan.
- Using high heat is key to getting golden, caramelized edges.
- You can experiment with other spices or Parmesan cheese for variation.
